Testimonials

Their professionalism is impeccable – it’s the finest we’ve seen. The folks they have – from their leadership to the people who come out on site – are as knowledgeable as you are going to find. When dealing with consultants, I’ve never seen that level of interest, sincerity and commitment. Every single person they sent brought that level of commitment to us."

By working with FAS, we were able to get the work done quicker than we were able to do alone and we benefited from the added perspective that they have gained from working with so many other colleges."

Dr. Debbie Heida

Vice President | Berry College

I’d say that FAS’ greatest strengths are depth of experience, strong work ethic, professionalism and integrity. FAS provided a cost-effective way to get the work done with more knowledge and skill than we had available to bring to the table."

Dr. Stephen Briggs

FAS knows what you need to know about financial aid. They train their consultants well and have a backup staff of highly trained experts to make them successful. I would encourage anyone who has a vacancy or pending vacancy to think about FAS. They will fill the gap as you look for your next person."
